Arsenal scored two injury-time goals to secure a dramatic late comeback win against Manchester United at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners had to bounce back from conceding first to win 3-1 and secure all points late on in the game – a mentality of never giving up that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta loves.
“It’s a big, big, big game with a lot of history, as we’ve said, and it was brilliant to end it in the way we did.
“I love the mentality of the team, the determination, the eagerness to win and go and go and go. We never give up. Obviously we gave them the first goal in a situation that we discussed.
“They kill you if you do that and we did, but we reacted straight away and I think, overall over the 100 minutes, the team was very dominant and deserved to win the game, but to be fair the margins with this team are so small and it could have gone in a different way.”
Marcus Rashford gave United the lead in the first half, but soon afterwards Martin Odegaard levelled matters for Arteta’s side.
In injury-time, Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus both scored to give Arsenal the deserved victory over their rivals.
The Gunners will be back in action on September 17th when they travel to Everton as the upcoming weekend is an international break week where most players will be heading to represent their countries.
